I would check out the High Line - a disused railway track converted into a public space spanning 22 city blocks and connecting three neighbourhoods -the Meatpacking District, Hell’s Kitchen and West Chelsea

Also - try the Shake Shack. There are several locations in the city - they make AMAZING burgers and shakes. Lots of locals love it, and lines are usually long (like 10 -30 minutes long), so go with friends and be ready to stand around. Totally worth it.

You could also make your way to Columbia University - the campus is beautiful and walking along on the West Side heading downtown from there is beautiful with lots of parks and greenery. Also the cafe from Seinfeld is near the Uni.
